Last Minute Photo and Twitter Tips for Your Event
March 23rd, 2011 Comment
Last minute Twitter tips.
- Use the #twestival hashtag on ALL your tweets.
- You can use your own local hashtag too, just make sure everyone knows it and remind the of twitter name (eg @LDNTwestival) for your event. Our suggestion: write it on big signs on the walls.
- We're going to be tracking the Twitter stream during our VOKLE livestream so say hi and join the conversation.
- We like Flickr a lot. It's open and public.
- Post photos to your own account and tag them "Twestival"
- Then add them to the Twestival Flickr pool flickr.com/groups/twestival.
- Or add your best photos to facebook.com/twestival
- Again, use big signs to let people at your event know how to tag photos.
- Encourage local photographers to come along and let them know about the Twestival pool.
- People will be using services like Instagram and TwitPic during the event, remind them to tag using #twestival.
- If you're shooting video, simply upload it to Vimeo or YouTube and remember to tag with Twestival
- Then post it on our Facebook wall, and of course your own!
- And make sure you tag all your friends who appear in it.
